I have an 05 road king, I bought it new. These bikes were notorious for high speed wobbles mostly in corners. I finally and completely eliminated the problem by replacing the stock Harley Davidson suspension. Upgraded the front suspension and rear with progressive, resulting in a better ride all around and without a wobble.
I have 4 children, 3 are military. Got them riding at q3yrs old and worked my bum off to buy them all the bikes they are comfortable on. Vulcan 650, ninja 400, Ducati monster, low rider st, my husband wrecked his street glide but now rides a tiger 900, and I have a 21 road glide plu my NC750X. A family that rides together, stays together ❤.
She should consider getting hand guards. They’re $80 from Memphis shades. Makes a huge difference in the winter. Keeps cold air off and also blocks road debris.
I got my first harley last Saturday. I picked up a 2020 street glide standard. I started riding an indian scout rogue sixty last year, i went with a frind to the harley dealer and he convinced me to take one on a test ride and fell in love with it. Now I have to wait for spring so I can get out in the breeze.
Sorry Tall. The company is Glide Pro. The owner is Jake. Your problem is the swing arm bushings. To soft and lets your swing arm move around. Good luck. My Lady and I love your show.
Hey Tall...I had a wobble on decel, on a 2012 Dyna Street Bob. Many trips to the dealer, and independent bike shops, could not pinpoint the source of the wobble. It gradually got worse, and worse, untill I stopped one day in the middle of the road, and shook the bike side to side. I found it was the spokes, from the spoke wheels. Every single spoke was loose, I guess from the factory. I limped home, tightened all the spokes, and the wobble was gone. I try to pass this on as much as possible. If you have spoked wheels, check those!
She will soon want a touring chassis. And the complaints will pile up after her first real long trip. Ride safe lol, n I’ll c u guys on the road somedays…
Great video! It was seeing all the roads around Knoxville. I used to live there, now in Cleveland TN. I've been in that Cycle Gear many times, I miss Knoxville.
I used to have a wobble and tightened the neck up fixed it. I didn't follow the SM instructions, in fact it is too tight according to the instructions BUT have 74,000 on the bike and no wobble and the bearings are still good, I have checked them,
Tall: a suggestion; check both wheels for balance issues. Also steering head. Have experienced the death wobble at 75 mph coming out of Denver on I70. Really scary.
She got a good looking bike!! For some reason I think women look hot on those bikes lol. I keep trying to convince my wife to get on 2’s and she won’t and it breaks my heart lol
When you are at high speed and come off the gas are you engaging the clutch or are you allowing the rear tire thru the belt fight the rpm in the engine?
Tall I had the same problem with the wobble from the front end. I had a brand new tire commander 3. Did everything in the world to the bike, changed the rim out, change bearings, went back to the stock rim no wobble, long story short, had a bad brand new front tire, that commander 3 by Michelin.
Your telling me when I was 20 and bought my first Harley it was a 1977 sporty iron head. My uncle was in Hollywood California I got a wild hair and took off from Knoxville and made it to Texas that was as far as I went turned around and back to Knoxville I went. I got home went to Knoxville hd traded it.
I have my original 2004 Heritage Classic which I absolutely love. Where did she get the heat shield? That is the complaint I have when riding long distance. It gets hot.
As long as it fit her...that's the only thing that matters!
I like it. Very beautiful bike...
Like her bike but dont like spokes...they have a tendency to loosen up if ya dont keep checking them
Tall, try Ride-On in your tires. I had a slight wobble at high speeds in my front tire.
Ride-On in the front tire solved that issue.
Nice looking bike , now she is definitely ready for the road
Your sister bike is nice , looks like a perfect fit.
That Heritage is hot!
She made a wise decision 👍🤙✌️
How about some wore out swing arm bushings or suspension? Maybe change fork oil amount?
Even though the tires are new, you could possibly have a bad tire.
lookin good!! Nice Ride
Nice bike, I like that color. Congratulations!!
Gorgeous bike!

Beautiful, family that rides together stays together. Enjoy
Your sister's bike looks great! Oh also, your speedometer went blurry when you dropped down into 4th gear. Might want to get that checked out 🤣
Great looking bike for your older sister! She’ll be happy with her purchase!!
Looking forward to the family road trip videos this summer. :)
Family affair. Love it!
Congratulations to your sister
Looks great! And she seems excited about it.
Heritage 👍👍👍
That’s an awesome bike
I get the wobble on high speed decel and when switching lanes at high speed on my 21 Street Glide Special as well.
Try filling your tires with Ride On wheel balancer/sealant. My next tires will have that stuff in them
That’s a great dealership. She picked a good bike. That color is really cool looking.
Have you check your motor mounts?

Kim chose a beautiful bike. Great bike to travel on.

I was gonna say she was looking cold. That's a nice bike for sure and a beautiful color. I liked how she stuck up for her Sportster lol.
Keep the great vids coming from 😊😊😊
It looks good. Congratulations to your sister.😊😊
tire pressure, suspension, wheel alignment, bent frame, steering head bearings.......take your pick
That's nice,tall!
Hi Tall. Congratulations to your sister! Love the Heritage Classic. That family ride sounds fantastic! Ride safe!!
Get the Triple Play, not the magic strobe. First thing I put on. All the lights in the back light up now. MASSIVE difference.
Very nice bike👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Real nice

Appreciate that tip. I will be checking my spokes. I check everything else before I ride but never thought about checking the spokes. Thank you.
Very nice.😎
She will soon want a touring chassis. And the complaints will pile up after her first real long trip. Ride safe lol, n I’ll c u guys on the road somedays…
As far as the bike being planted on the highway at speed, you would be surprised. It rides very well.
Nice review keep up the good work Traveling tall
I really like the color of her bike. Those things can look super clean with some easy mods.
Beautiful bike. Congrats to your sister!
Nice video Tall. I like your sister's bike. It's a great bike for her to travel on. I rode my 2005 Soft tail Deluxe to Sturgis.
That heritage is beautiful. Has an old school look. Id love to add one to the collection some day. Congratulations to your sister
Heated gloves and vest or jacket are a game changer, soft lowers help too.
Nice bike
beautiful bike congratulations to your sister!!
I have a Street Glide ST but the Heritage is by far my favorite Softail.
Great video! It was seeing all the roads around Knoxville. I used to live there, now in Cleveland TN. I've been in that Cycle Gear many times, I miss Knoxville.
Love the Heritage, great all around bike!!
you know those saddlebags leak when it rains
Congratulations to your sister
Good-Day: Traveling Tall; Is the wobble in the front or rear of the bike. Have a bless day.
Congratulations to your sister!
Need to remove the front fork reflectors. That is a beautiful ride.
that is a front wheel wobble for sure.
I used to have a wobble and tightened the neck up fixed it. I didn't follow the SM instructions, in fact it is too tight according to the instructions BUT have 74,000 on the bike and no wobble and the bearings are still good, I have checked them,
When one is on needles highway on a Harley during Sturgis with family...one can not slow down.
Congrats to your sister !
Any new bike is a reason to celebrate.....
Now put some Custom Dynamics lights on her bike. Rear, front & sides !!!!
very nice looking bike and with the temps looking good this week hope you all get to ride more.
Tall: a suggestion; check both wheels for balance issues. Also steering head. Have experienced the death wobble at 75 mph coming out of Denver on I70. Really scary.
Nice bike Tall, on your bike what was your air pressure I have a 21on my CVO and i ran a buck 5 and 10.✌🏽✌🏽
I was hoping she had bought a Road Glide 😁😎🤘
She can fix everything with a Zippers 124".
Nice bike! 👍🏽 Love the color too.
Try the forkoil. Also try adjusting your rear shocks
She got a good looking bike!! For some reason I think women look hot on those bikes lol. I keep trying to convince my wife to get on 2’s and she won’t and it breaks my heart lol
Love the Heritage. What kind of bags is she going for?
When you are at high speed and come off the gas are you engaging the clutch or are you allowing the rear tire thru the belt fight the rpm in the engine?
Love that color, absolutely beautiful. My first bike was a 95 Heritage Softail Nostalgia. Congratulations and ride on !!!
Beautiful motorcycle
Beautiful bike I love the color and the 114 will carry you for a great ride especially on the highway !
Hey man for that wobble I would try removing the front tire from the rim and remounting/balancing it again.
Definitely recommend the lowrider st
But that heritage in that color is sweeeet
Beautiful bike. I love it.
Tall I had the same problem with the wobble from the front end. I had a brand new tire commander 3. Did everything in the world to the bike, changed the rim out, change bearings, went back to the stock rim no wobble, long story short, had a bad brand new front tire, that commander 3 by Michelin.
Just picked up an 2023 road glide im looking for paint protection for the front of the bike what do you recommend?
Your telling me when I was 20 and bought my first Harley it was a 1977 sporty iron head. My uncle was in Hollywood California I got a wild hair and took off from Knoxville and made it to Texas that was as far as I went turned around and back to Knoxville I went. I got home went to Knoxville hd traded it.
Are you down with brown, beautiful bike and color. It will pop with some wide white walls !!!
What backrest is that? My dad just bought a heritage and Harley doesn't make a backrest for the stock seat.
I have my original 2004 Heritage Classic which I absolutely love. Where did she get the heat shield? That is the complaint I have when riding long distance. It gets hot.
New too the channel. Riding a Road King Special. Have a cool ride.
Thank you and I appreciate everything in Jesus name amen 🙏🏿🤴🏿
Modular helments are a echo chamber, how do you deal with the exhaust and wind noise inside your helmet?
My favorite bike tall leave her up grades to her.be diplomatic.
